Before buying your favorite beauty product, know the effect of the chemicals present in it

News India Live, Digital Desk: Harmful fragrance: We often pay great attention to their fragrance when buying beauty products. Products with adorable aroma attract us and feel that our skin and health will be better for. But do you know that many times this breathtaking fragrance can become a big threat to your health? Yes, synthetic fragrance (artificial fragrance) used in beauty products is often made up of dangerous chemicals, which can cause serious health problems.

These fragrances are a secret threat as product companies often do not make full disclosure of the chemical component by writing ‘fragrance’ or ‘fragrance’ in the entire list of their content. It can contain a mixture of hundreds of different chemicals.

What are health threats?
Allergies and skin irritation: The most common problem is skin. Chemicals present in fragrance can cause allergies, itching, redness, and dermatitis (skin inflammation), especially in people with sensitive skin.

hormonal imbalance: Some synthetic fragrances may contain phethalates such as Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals – EDCs. These can disrupt the body’s hormonal system, causing thyroid problems, reproductive problems and mood swings.

Respiratory problems: The use of rapidly smelling beauty products can cause some people to have asthma attack, difficulty in breathing, nose and headache, especially if they are in contact for them for a long time.

Cancer risk: This is another serious concern. Some researches have indicated to connect some fragrance chemicals to cancer, although further research is needed. But there is no harm in taking precautions.

Headache and Migraine: Fast and artificial fragrance may trigger a headache or migraine repeatedly in some people, affecting everyday life.

What to do?
To be safe, choose beauty products on which ‘fragrance-free’ or ‘natural fragrance’ is written. Read the component list carefully and avoid products that have words like ‘Fragrance’, ‘perfume’ or ‘perfumeer’. Instead, prefer natural fragrance products made of essential oils, but also see that you are not allergic to those oils. Do not compromise your health for your beauty.
